“To je isto kao kad se jedan čovjek ima popeti uz pet nižih stepenica a drugi samo uz jednu, koja je međutim za njega isto tako visoka kao svih onih pet zajedno; prvi će savladati ne samo onih pet nego i stotine i tisuće drugih stepenica, on će proživjeti velik i vrlo naporan život, ali ni jedna od stepenica uz koje se popeo neće za njega imati onakvo značenje kakvo je za onoga drugoga imala ona jedna, prva, visoka stepenica, uz koju on nema snage popeti se, uz koju se ne može popeti i s koje, naravno, ne može ni sići.”

“Why is it that people who are absorbed by something are seen as sad? I can't explain it, but for me it reverses the true state of affairs. To be engaged is to be a part, to be absorbed and fulfilled. To be cool, to be detached from things and to have no passionate feelings is the real sadness. At the heart of depression, that quintessentially modern malaise, is a deep sense of separation from the rest of life.”

“…imagine if the people who ended up being together for fifty years were like, 'How weird, it was just a fling that went wrong!' If we admired the people who created and kept lifelong partnerships, but considered them a wonderful anomaly… I'm imagining myself giving this speech to Sylvia Plath and she is smiling through her tears and getting back into bed. Simone de Beauvoir is texting Sartre that it's over. Queen Victoria is removing her widow's weeds and now she's nude and making a pass at Simone, Eve walks in with a bowl of fruit and we all laugh. Ha ha ha ha ha. The musical finishes with a brilliant finale, I'm singing 'Endings Aren't Failures' and when I get to the rap bit, all the women in the world do the robot dance and we all feel okay about everything. We all agree that pair bonding is the most powerful influence that affects our bodies.”
